Description

Revolt its about inspiring and encouraging people to believe in themselves.[1]

According to Matt, in this track along with Defector, the protagonist of the story takes again control of his life and fights against the dark forces who are trying to control him.[2]

Revolt was an originally a piano song and it took a lot to become a Rock song.[3]

In a french review, Revolt is said to be a "pop" song that sounds like U2's "With or Without You". Matt's voice "sounds strange" and makes "brutal" climbs into falsetto.[4] while ccording to NME, Revolt is one of their most creative songs; "A two-speed storm built on monumental riffs"[5]

Information

A sample of rioters and a police siren can be heard in the intro of the song. The police siren builds up into a rhytm based synth, on which the song's verses are based. The choruses are faster than the verses.

Lyrics

[VERSE 1]
How did we get in so much trouble?
Getting out just seems impossible
Oppression is persisting
I can't fight this brain conditioning
Our freedom's just a loan
Run by machines and drones

They've got us locked into their sights
Soon, they'll control what's left inside
Don't try to hide it
Don't tell me it's not there

[CHORUS]
You've got strength, you've got soul
You've felt pain, you've felt love
You can grow (you can grow!)
You can grow (you can grow!)
You can make this world what you want
You can revolt
You can revolt
You can revolt.

[VERSE 2]
Can you hear a distant thunder?
Taste earth's blood and hunger
We live in a toxic jungle
Truth is suppressed to mumbles

They'll take away our homes
They're just machines and drones
Don't try to fight it
Don't tell me you can't see

[CHORUS]
You've got strength, you've got soul
You've felt pain, you've felt love
You can grow (you can grow!)
You can grow (you can grow!)
You can make this world what you want
You can revolt
You can revolt
You can revolt.

[BRIDGE]
I can feel your pain
I can feel your confusion
I can see you're trapped in a maze
Let's find a way to escape

[CHORUS]
You've got strength, you've got soul
You're not afraid, you're not a drone
You can grow (you can grow!)
You can grow (you can grow!)
You can make this world what you want
You can revolt
You can revolt
You can revolt.
